glad that you’re back and hope you’re taking care of yourself💕💕

[@MinaReads]

hi Mo!!!

[@jules.mp3]

Minaaaaa!! we missed you! ❤ thank you for the romance recs - they will be filling the Serena-and-Kordell shaped void in my life 😂 My best of 2024 so far: * recursion, blake crouch * lightbringer, pierce brown * small mercies, dennis lehane * wool, hugh howey * the other valley, scott alexander howard * dark age & iron gold, pierce brown I also thought “the mostly true story of tanner & louise” was a fun summer read! that’s my honorable mention

[@RetroNoIX]

Missed you sooooooo much. So glad to see you back!

[@katpablo]

Need to chime in before even watching to say you were so missed and I'm so excited to watch this vlog ♥

[@MsKakay12]

mina!!! im so happy to see a video from you and i hope youve been well!! this year's reading for me has been.... lackluster to say the least which is really disappointing. hopefully the second half of the year will be different

[@OhKaveReads]

Definitely missed you queen 🥰

[@blueowl07]

Welcome back!! Also yes The Sunshine Court was sooooo amazing. All for the game is so close to my heart that I was worried, but it really worked for me. Running Close to the Wind was also VERY fun!! I laughed so much when I was reading it.

[@clementinehetherington6525]

I missed you too!!!

[@poIarnights]

Ahh Mina!! glad to see you’re back 💕💕💕💕

[@Alea_uncharted]

So happy to see you back in my subs 🥰🥰🥰 agreed with the Sunshine Court, it utterly destroyed me and I thought it was a great continuation of aftg. Also many thanks for being my go-to for polyamorous recs 💜💜💜

[@nataliesypeck4037]

Explaining the foxhole court series always takes some mental gymnastics 😂

[@nicolol4408]

i love you so much Mina always good to see your uploads

[@MinaReads]

You're the best!

MINAAAAAAA💗💗💗💗💗💗 missed youuu🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@cierraking7953]

Happy to see you again! ❤

[@MinaReads]

i'm so happy to be back!

[@myselfctrl]

I wasn’t sure Kathryn Moon could ever write something on the same level as Lola for me, but Howl for the Gargoyle got there. The character and relationship development truly was beautiful.

[@ava8510]

woohoo!! Love your channel and voice sm! :)

[@MinaReads]

Thank you so much!!

[@lilacfields]

as someone who first read aftg in middle school, the sunshine court was such a delight. i’ve read a lot of aftg fic but haven’t revisited the series in a while. loved getting to know jean and getting put back in the insane universe that is aftg 😭 and i agree!!! my reading year has been very shaky. after so many disappointments, i have only read 2 books since april 🥲 need to find a good book so i can get out of this rut

[@jaschahal7408]

Not you saying “sight unseen” lol! Love it ✨

[@guidecfk]

You're so right about the sunshine court! I bought it and started it out of nostalgia for the original trilogy but then got so sucked in by sweet bb Jean ❤ Also I'm definitely adding Icarus to my tbr! My best books of the year have been The Sign for Home by Blair Fell, World Running Down by Al Hess, and Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh.

[@lilacfields]

amc interview with the vampire mention!!!! it is truly a phenomenal show 😭 i wish more people would watch it. also i love this characterization of Louis so bad 🫶🏽

[@legumesss]

Happy you're back!

[@PomegranateDreams13]

I also adore K.Ancrum’s books and recently starting reading Icarus and loving it too! 🖤 Really missed you and glad your back✨

[@reena3592]

2024 has been mid as far as readings have gone. I tried my hand at reading a paranormal romance series but it was the worst series I've ever read. It's called Stay a Spell but my favorite series/books I've read was this manga series called "Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!" . It's so good like I'm obsessed with it. Can't wait to read volume 11. Hoping to find better reads this year

[@gabbaray2013]

Welcome back! Best new book: Codename Charming by Lucy Parker; Worst book: How to date men when you hate men by Blythe Roberson (she doesn't really hate men lol at least not like me and my friends)

[@jordansiarya762]

this just made my day 🥹🫶🏽

[@youwillneverknow7165]

Missed you

[@burge2695]

My fav character from the stormlight archives is Dalinar ❤❤❤

[@thebookgeek87]

yes yes yes to Interview with the Vampire

[@saraysk8]

Yay, love to have you back. I also love Kaladin! I am in the middle of Words of Radiance now but then I heard it was best to read Warbreaker and Dawnshard to get some Cosmere easter eggs in Words of Radiance??? but like, I am halfway through, how can I just stop. Do I just accept I will miss some stuff or do I stop, read the other two, and come back? I have a real dilemma LOL. it's not even that serious...

[@queenlucysroyalmaid1]

Mina!!!! Hello gorgeous!! Missed you

[@MinaReads]

Hey!! 💖💖

[@heabooktubes]

I’m hoping to read my arc of Mistress of Lies this weekend.

[@MinaReads]

I’m 200 pages into mine 🤭

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

A sorceress comes to call is one I have on my shelf as well because I like what I have read of t kingfisher before! I have the first book in the all for the game series and I am so excited to delve in because people say it is perfect for fans of the raven cycle. The rachel harrison book sounds so good? Vampires are always a yes please to me. I didn't like the vegetarian either. It was super unsettling which was all intentional but it just didn't work for me on many levels. I was interested in stars in your eyes and then removed it from my need to read list after your review >.> I think the dune films are so much better than the book... but I did like the world building in it. I need to read little rot as well.

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Aw😂❤ I’m sending you love (:

sending love back 💖

[@chocolateoreo6489]

@@MinaReads Aw thank you🤗

[@CheyeW13]

[@leahharlann]

I just finished Sky on Fire!! Loved it a lot, I'm a sucker for heists and dragons haha

[@loveblushed6360]

you and i have the exact same type in fictional men lol i love a sad boy (notice how louis from interview with the vampire is also a depressed, long-suffering man with trauma 🤭)

[@AwkwardBookworm]

I still have to finish the all for the game series! I’ve only read the first 2

[@jacobneale5844]

Sucks to hear about education of malice, I was hoping it would be good 🤧 I haven’t read the author’s really great first book yet (heard a lot about it of course)
